Lo-fi Sucks! was one of the most prolific indie-rock bands in Italy. They released their fourth full-length album in February 2002 (Suiteside / White & Black). This new CD-r release is a collaboration between °Marsiglia° and Ouzel Records, and contains three old songs which have been re-arranged for their latest winter / spring tour in Italy and UK. Download it here.

Mouse and Sequencers is the work of Nicola Giunta from Sicily: Casio sounds meet lo-fi samples, poor electronics, and an acoustic guitar.

Originally released on miniCD-r, this work is now available in mp3.

 

Morose's first printed full length album: a co-production with Cane Andaluso, Kimera, and Under My Bed.

Guitars, drums and voices meet strings, accordions, a saw and a piano... The best choice for those who love Red Red Meat, Black Heart Procession, Velvet Underground and the early works of Leonard Cohen.

Download it here.

The 3rd Morose EP (28 mins) contains 10 lo-fi songs between rock and pop: simple ballads based on charmful melodies, guitars and minimal drums meet casiotones, accordions and flutes.

Hungary is the country of the emotions the band tried to express in these songs - and it's also the country with the highest rate of suicides in the world.

Style: Velvet Underground, Nick Drake, Sebadoh, Califone

Another great cd from Onq: 10 "golden hits" recorded in rearranged versions. It's nothing you could be happy for. It is the first album recorded by ONQ as a band.

Style: Mogwai, Hood, Sigur Ros, Motorpsycho, Sophia

The first French band on Ouzel Records!

A great pop/rock work by F&C Petchanatz (KLIMPEREI): 22 carefree songs through retro sounds and unforgettable melodies.

I felt in love with Deleted when I heard the track they provided me for the "2nd Anniversary Compilation", released by Ouzel Records in summer 2000. Now this work is available for free download.

Four tracks, 17 minutes and 32 seconds of analog and digital sounds melt together.

This MCDr was recorded on a 4 track recorder between 1998 and 1999, using an old PC486, a Commodore CDTV, and some more conventional instruments, such as a guitar, a bass, and human voices.

Tracks 1-3 are the remakes of three songs written by different ouzel bands: you'll discover the "Wet" main theme (originally written by Priscilla) among the loops of the overture, then a playful version of Morose's first hit called "Mario Malano" follows, while the 3rd track is a claustrophobic remake of Gluck's "Carpace".

 

The second Morose work after two years of silence.

8 new songs between pop and rock will make you the happiest sad human being on the whole Earth.

Recorded on a 4track tape recorder. Very lo-fi, it's pure Ouzel music!

This selection contains 20 hyped blow-fi tracks originally appeared on a number of Chupa Verga Rex tapes between 1995 and 1997.

Please mind that no tracks from Cefodie's last work "Paciughi" (1998) have been enclosed in this collection.

This work is available for free download.

 

A cult guitar-noise band active in 1997-1998, starring Onq, and members from Morose and The colours seen from behind. 16 tracks including a cover of "Here, there" by Kalte Sterne.

Now available for free download!

 

P.u.S. was the band in which Mauro (Ouzel / The colours seen from behind / etc...) used to play drums in his teenagerhood. This album contains all the tracks recorded by the band throughout its activity (1994-1997), including the vinyl EP "Meravigliosamente Inutile", released by Sottosopra.

Now this work is available for free download.

This is the first release belonging to the "Ouzel Dead File" series, whose aim was to document the work of split up bands somehow related to Ouzel Records current projcets.

 

ONQ and the Colours Seen From Behind cover each other. ONQ plays "The Dreamer" (from the Colours Seen From Behind's album released by CVR in 1997), while Mauro presents an electronic remake of "Light Sleep" (from "Ballads about unlucky love stories", ouz07). 4 tracks, including the original versions.

Now this work is available for free download.

Here is the document of a cult band's last live show, filmed by Onq in La Spezia on 10th October 1998. Sad tunes from this rock trio, starring D. Speranza (Morose) on the guitar & voice, and Mauro/Ouzel on the drums.

 

An extended version of ouz05 (released one year earlier on cassette-tape only), including some live recordings.

 

When you're about to learn how to smile, Onq's going to be the one to teach how to cry.

A very unique release among ONQ's work, in which the mood and the arrangements are closer to Leonard Cohen's or Nick Cave's acoustic ballads, rather than to the sound of "The Supreme Weight", "Dasein Ohne Leben" or "Canzoni Tutte Uguali".

5-track version of ouz01.

>> www.ouzel.net/morose

 

Here it is the second long tape by Gluck, the Nirvanesque band Mauro and ONQ used to play in.

It consists of 12 hi(gher)-fi studio recordings which SONY Music wanted to publish, but the trio preferred to stay with Ouzel (seriously).

 

This one C90 tape contains two interviews to the bands P.u.S. (Mauro/Ouzel) and Gluck (represented by ONQ and Pulciotto/Cefodie), broadcasted by Radio Golfo in 1996.

 

Here you can find the very first recording of The Flavour of the month (starring Mauro/Ouzel on the drums) and a unique acoustic performance by Gluck (probably their most interesting tracks), featuring ONQ on the bass and Mauro on the banjo.

 

This tape contains three improvised tracks performed by Onq, Kalte Sterne, Morose and Giampaolo/Lebenswelt. Handmade covers, limited edition. No more copies are available.

On August 17th, 1998, Morose and Ouzel came to life in the form of this tape. 7 songs recorded on a 4-track, and hand-coloured covers - this was the manifesto of both the label and the band. This work was eventually re-edited as a 5-song cassette (ouz06).
